Does anyone happen to know if there is an MPI version of &quot;make&quot;?<br>
<br>
Specifically, we&#39;re looking for something that would run a &quot;make&quot;<br>
across a number of nodes.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help/suggestions/ideas!<br></blockquote></div><br><br>I worked on getting &quot;distmake&quot; to work well with TORQUE to use with a make-driven high-throughput sequence analysis pipeline. the pipeline had been tested with SGE qmake by the instrument vendor, but we use TORQUE on our cluster. It was mostly working, but I had problems where build steps would fail because dependencies were not found when they had been generated on a different node (they did exist). This was because of file attribute caching. Other people did not see the problem depending on their distro and NFS version. I did get it to work with file attribute caching turned off for the mount. Another work around would be to use a lower cache attribute time out value (say 1 second) and preface each make rule with a sleep 2. From input from other distmake users it seemed this depended greatly on NFS/distro version - it wasn&#39;t a problem at all on some distros, others it was (and it varied between versions of the same distro). <br>
